Theory of Specific Heat in Glass Forming Systems
H. G. E. Hentschel, Valery Ilyin, Itamar Procaccia +1
Experimental measurements of the specific heat in glass-forming systems reveal anomalies in the temperature dependence of the specific heat, including the so called "specific heat…
Ageing and Relaxation in Glass Forming Systems
Valery Ilyin, Itamar Procaccia, Ido Regev +1
We propose that there exists a generic class of glass forming systems that have competing states (of crystalline order or not) which are locally close in energy to the ground state…
Mechanical Properties of Glass Forming Systems
Valery Ilyin, Nataliya Makedonska, Itamar Procaccia +1
We address the interesting temperature range of a glass forming system where the mechanical properties are intermediate between those of a liquid and a solid. We employ an efficien…
Statistical Mechanics of the Glass Transition
H. G. E. Hentschel, Valery Ilyin, Nataliya Makedonska +2
The statistical mechanics of simple glass forming systems in 2 dimensions is worked out. The glass disorder is encoded via a Voronoi tessellation, and the statistical mechanics is…
Inverse melting and inverse freezing: a spin model
Nurith Schupper, Nadav M. Shnerb
Systems of highly degenerate ordered or frozen state may exhibit inverse melting (reversible crystallization upon heating) or inverse freezing (reversible glass transition upon hea…
Spin Model for Inverse Melting and Inverse Glass Transition
Nurith Schupper, Nadav M. Shnerb
A spin model that displays inverse melting and inverse glass transition is presented and analyzed. Strong degeneracy of the interacting states of an individual spin leads to entrop…
